It was not a picnic up on those mtns. in Italy, '43-'44. Melted snow for drinking water had packets of instant coffee and our squad carried a little Gasoline coleman stove. We took turns carrying it. Was hell in a foxhole. I thank the LORD ALMIGHTY for watching over me and for me to write this. Rocky

If you watch the Band of Brothers episode when they arrive in Bastogne I really like 1 quote. "Were are we?" other guy: "We sure ain't in hell ... it's too damn cold".

 

Later I heard that someone (sorry for don't remembering the name of the veteran) said that he couldn't believe it was that cold in hell.

I am happy you survived Rocky and still here with us to share your stories etc. We can only imagine how it was and even then it must have been much worser.

All the best to you,

Frank
